Hi guys,
is it possible to download a program to automatically generate a new password every 24 hours for a specific user account?????

What i have is 3 computers that have windows home installed. What i want is that each day a new password is created to enable the user to logon to the machine for example

Monday - the password would be monday1
Tuesday - the password would be tuesday2
and so on

the following monday it would be - 1 monday

hope you know what i mean by all this???

That seems a little OTT.... and not very secure.

As jdickerson says, odd request. Off the top of my head, you could use a set of simple batch files using the "net user" command like: "net user Username monday1" and for Tuesdays for "Username" use "net user Username tuesday2".

You could then use the AT command to schedule one batch file to run. But it only allows you to specify a time to run it, what you will want is for it to run at startup on the PC?

Is this related to the thread I just saw from you in N&IC?
If so it might be an idea to give your brief in detail here.
My first thoughts were that this password change is probs not the best method.

never worr about this one guys, i spoke to the person in charge and they dont really need a password for these machines.
